520 |a Near-infrared color-excess and extinction ratios are essential for establishing the cosmic distance scale and probing the Galaxy, particularly when analyzing targets attenuated by significant dust. A robust determination of those ratios followed from leveraging new infrared observations from the VVV survey, wherein numerous bulge RR Lyrae and Type II Cepheids were discovered, in addition to <i>BVJH<i/><i>K<i/><sub>s<sub/>(3.4 → 22) <i>μ<i/>m data for classical Cepheids and O stars occupying the broader Galaxy. The apparent optical color-excess ratios vary significantly with Galactic longitude (<i>ℓ<i/>), whereas the near-infrared results are comparatively constant with <i>ℓ<i/> and Galactocentric distance (\hbox{$\langle E(J-\overline{3.5~\mu {\rm m}})/E(J-K_{\rm s}) \rangle =1.28\,\pm\,0.03$}). The results derived imply that classical Cepheids and O stars display separate optical trends (<i>R<i/><sub><i>V,BV<i/><sub/>) with <i>ℓ<i/>, which appear to disfavor theories advocating a strict and marked decrease in dust size with increasing Galactocentric distance. The classical Cepheid, Type II Cepheid, and RR Lyrae variables are characterized by ⟨<i>A<i/><sub><i>J<i/><sub/>/<i>E<i/>(<i>J<i/>−<i>K<i/><sub>s<sub/>)⟩ = ⟨<i>R<i/><sub><i>J,J<i/><i>K<i/><sub>s<sub/><sub/>⟩ = 1.49 ± 0.05 (⟨<i>A<i/><sub><i>K<i/><sub>s<sub/><sub/>/<i>A<i/><sub><i>J<i/><sub/>⟩ = 0.33 ± 0.02), whereas the O stars are expectedly impacted by emission beyond 3.6 <i>μ<i/>m. The mean optical ratios characterizing classical Cepheids and O stars are approximately ⟨<i>R<i/><sub><i>V,BV<i/><sub/>⟩ ~ 3.1 and ⟨<i>R<i/><sub><i>V,BV<i/><sub/>⟩ ~ 3.3, respectively.
